To a/ZZ whom it may concern:

Beitknown that 1, MARTIN B. MCCLEERY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Pleasantville, in the county of Fairfield and State' of Ohio, have invented acertain new and useful Improvement in Gas-Stoves, of whichth Y following is a specification.

My invention relates to the improvement of gas heating-stoves; and the objcctsof my invention are to provide a simple and inexpensive gas-stove construction by means of which a high degree of heat radiation may be attained by the consumption of a compara-A tively small amount of gas and to produce certain improvements in details ofconstruction and operation, which will be more fully rises the lower or baseportion of the stove 2,

which may be cylindrical or otherwise formed in cross-section. The stove-body base portion 2 is surmounted by a horizontally-disposed plate 3, having a central opening therein which communicates with a corresponding opening in the base-plate 1 through a pipe-section or conduit 4. vUpon the plate 3 and about the opening or conduit 4'is supported a suitable form of ring-burner with which is connected a gas-supply pipe 6, the latter preferably passing upward through the conduit 4 and entering the burner at opposite points through the medium of arms 51. The base-drum 2 is provided with a desired number and arrangement of openings or perforations 2. Rising from the plate 3 and about the burner 5 is the main drum or cylinder 7 of the stove-casing, this drum prelt'- erably being of less circumference than the base portion 2. Depending from an opening in the top plate 8 of the drum 7 is an inner' cylindrical casin g 9, the latter having formed in its otherwise-closed bottom an opening 10, from which leads upwardand outward through said inner-*cylinder 9 and outer ou tward through the pipe 11.

'heated before reaching the outlet.

drum 7 au outlet-pipe 11. Arranged between the internal casing or cylinder 9 and the drum 7 is a suitable casing 12, the open up- 'per termination of the latter being at a point sirable intervals.' As shown in the drawings, 4

the casing 12 has its lower termination at a vpoint below the bottom of the casing 9, and

the bottom plate of said casing 12 is preferably provided with a heat-resisting covering lil, of asbestos or other suitable material. The

Aupper end of the drum 7 is surmounted-by a suitable cap-plate 15, in which is provided a Vdesirable arrangement of openings 16.

At a point in thedrum or casing 7 opposite the burner l provide a doorway and a hinged door 17 therefor.

In operation the products of combustion which rise from the ame at the burner are carried upward in the direction of the arrows to the upper part of the drum 7, thence downward within the drum 12, thence upward and In this manner heat is impartedin its passage from theburner to the outlet, to the external drum 7, and to both the internal cylinders or casings 9 and 12,with the result that the air which is drawn upward through the passage 4, as indicated by the feathered arrows in Fig. l, is thoroughly It has been demonstrated that the drawing within the stove and the mingling of the fresh air with the products of combustion result in the heated air which is discharged from the pipe 11 being approximately free of burned gas, permitting the stove to be used, if desired, without connection of the pipe 11 with a chimney or other exit to the outer atmosphere. It will also be understood that the heat which is generated within the internal casing 9 will be radiated within the room in which the stove is contained through the topplate openings 16. Itis obvious that the heat generated at the burner will be imparted also to the plate 3 and from the latter radiated Within the base-drum 2, from which it will pass outward through the openings 2 into the room. .By the employment of the asbestos covering or plate on the bottom of the cylin- IOO der 12 it is obvious that said cylinder or oasing bottom will be relieved to some extent of the effects of the direct heat from the burner,

the base-drum and a ring-burner mounted upon said drum-supporting plate about said passage 4, of an internal casing 9 having its upper open end depending from an opening in the top plate of the drum or casing 7, an Outlet-pipe leading from an opening in the bottom of the casing 9 thence out through the external casing or drum 7' and a easing l2 arranged between the oasings 7 and 9 and eX- vtending below the latter, substantially as speoiiied.
